People also said the same about Jazz and Rock music. Elvis was personified as the devil and other fun things. If one can say that about harmless music, they can say it about hentai as well. Its essentially just porn drawn by an artist instead of filmed (or a picture). Hentai isn't particularly harmful. Heck, every boy entering his teen years is going to want to look it up just for the heck of it. Really, people need bigger backbones.

Hentai and Ecchi are extremely important to the anime community. They are big money makers that help keep business booming.
If you don't like hentai, don't watch hentai. Porn will always be around no matter what regardless of if its animated or not.

I don't think the existence of hentai is any worse for the anime community than the existence of live-action porn is for the Hollywood community.

I'm pretty sure most intelligent people can understand the difference between pornography and regular entertainment, and those who can't and think all anime is porn shouldn't be worth anything to the anime community anyway.

there are actually people who don't distinguish between ero and regular anime, so their opinion is kinda messed up on anime as a whole.
but hentai got some obnoxious shit going on, seriously who comes up with this? xD

Ppl probably only think that because most hentai these days is about rape. I'd say personally about 70% of hentai is about rape or animals involved (Don't want to say it ) That's mostly the reason ppl see it as harmful. I personally don't because I think of it as a cartoon just like all anime or regular cartoons. Though I rarely watch hentai due to that kind of subject being popular.

Though I do wish Japan could steer away from those kinds of subjects but to each their own I guess.

on a moral aspect its is quite destructive. hentai contains many unethical tributes even to the porn industry. it also harbor the increase in moe and fan service in series. an example would be in "i can't play H" the manga does no show any of the explicit parts but the anime shows it like its nothing.

no, because of revenue and in the idea that once its has spread the damage is done and its considered natural and not a poison anymore kinda like an idea that considered crazy but is later accepted into a community such as a fad.

i all depends on who and how many accepts its with open arms, once the majoraty of society accepts it than its normal.
i personally don't watch the stuff, but i'm not ganna lie that i have seen it before.
